Healthy Recipes Ingredients Healthy Bean Recipes Healthy Chickpea Recipes Whipped Hummus 4.8 (4) 3 Reviews To make this hummus light and airy, we boil canned chickpeas in water with a little baking soda to make them extra soft. Removing the skins from the chickpeas helps achieve a silky-smooth texture. To jazz up the hummus for serving, sprinkle the top with cumin or ground sumac, or drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.

Using a spoon, skim and discard foam from the surface. Reduce heat to medium-high; gently boil, vigorously stirring occasionally and skimming away any loose skins that rise to the surface, until the chickpeas are falling apart, about 20 minutes. Discard the skimmed skins. Drain the chickpeas in a fine-mesh sieve; rinse under cold water until the chickpeas are cool, about 30 seconds. Drain well. Transfer the drained chickpeas to a food processor. Add garlic, tahini, lemon juice, cumin and salt. Process until mostly smooth, about 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. With the processor running, slowly pour oil and 1 tablespoon water through the chute, processing until very smooth, about 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Add up to 1 tablespoon additional water as needed to reach desired consistency. Transfer the hummus to a bowl. Serve with pita chips, pretzels, carrot sticks, sliced cucumbers and/or sliced bell peppers, if desired. To make ahead Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
